Privacy Policy
Effective
CAMS Cert Prep is built to be used without giving up any personal information. We do not run accounts, we do not ask for your email, and we do not set tracking cookies. This policy describes exactly what happens to data when you use the site, and it only describes things we actually do.
Who we are
CAMS Cert Prep is an independent comparison guide operated by Urban Algorithm LLC. We are the publisher and the data controller for this site. You can reach us through the Urban Algorithm contact page.
What we do not collect
- No user accounts, logins, or profiles.
- No email sign-up, newsletter, or contact form that stores your address.
- No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party ad networks.
- No sale or sharing of personal information, because we do not hold any.
Your tool inputs stay on your device
The recommender, the eligibility-and-cost checker, and the practice diagnostic all run in your browser. What you enter, your role, region, experience, budget, answers, and any settings, is processed on your device and is not sent to us as identifiable information. There is no account, so there is no server-side copy of your inputs to request or delete.
Anonymous aggregate statistics we do collect
We want to be plain about this, because it is the one thing that does leave your device. So that we can see whether the tools are useful and publish honest aggregate insights later, the tools send a small, anonymous, banded event when you complete an interaction. These events contain only coarse buckets drawn from our own catalog, for example the credential the recommender suggested, a cost band such as "$1,500 to $3,000", a bounded role and region label, and an experience band. They never contain your exact figures, free text, name, email, or any identifier, and no single event can be traced back to you.
Because of this, we do not claim that "nothing leaves your device." A coarse, anonymous summary does. What never leaves is anything that could identify you or reconstruct exactly what you typed.
Analytics
We measure aggregate traffic with Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool we host ourselves. It is cookieless and collects anonymized data only: it does not set cookies, does not fingerprint you, and does not build a cross-site profile. The anonymous tool events above are recorded through the same self-hosted, cookieless setup. No analytics data is sold or handed to an advertising network.
Links to official sources and third parties
The comparison links out to the official credential-body pages so you always read the authoritative text. When you click any external link, that site applies its own privacy policy, which we do not control. We do not pass any personal information to those sites. This site currently carries no affiliate links; if that ever changes, each such link will be clearly disclosed here and where it appears.
Third-party hosting
Like any website, our host and content-delivery network process the standard server request data (such as your IP address) needed to deliver the page to you. This is ordinary web infrastructure, is not used by us to profile you, and is not combined with any other data about you.
Children
This is a professional-certification decision resource intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and in fact we do not collect personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If our data practices change, we will update this page and move the effective date above. Because we start from collecting nothing personal, any change would only ever be described here in the same plain terms.
